AM - early run in Appleton WI, (here on business).   Quite chilly for me this morning in the upper 30's and windy.  Had a nice run nevertheless - ran along a trail that parallelled the road where my hotel was located.  Ran out with the wind and returned facing it, which was a bit more challenging.   Came up yesterday in time for a meeting and attended the Green Bay game - first time to visit Lambeau.  Check that box.  Pretty cool experience.

PM - first workout since the surgery (besides the aerobic running).  Tempo on the treadmill following a 20 min warmup.  35 mins at what felt like 15k pace ( I say "felt like" because the actual pace was a bit slower than marathon pace was a few months ago). But it was good and my body felt strong.  It was a nice workout.  Last mile was actually at marathon pace.   Pleased with the progress.

AM - 4 mile easy shake out run this morning in ATL.  Quite chilly - low 30's.  Delaney and Tracy came up for a college tour - today is UGA.   A little perplexing for me as a Gator....
